Jon Merricks Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I lost my work blackberry and just got the replacement. It already has my personal email set up in it and all the contacts that were listed in my old one along with pictures related to my kids number. I'm not too sure what to think about that. Anyway how did they do that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Vigilante Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 If you synch with your company's server then they are going to have that data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 US Cellular does it for me. It is my personal Black Berry; when I buy a new one I can use it right out the door. They sync the two phones and I always keep my old Black Berry for a back up phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moverfive Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Blackberry has software to allow for a quick and easy swap of devices.....the software, loaded on an individual computer, simply backs up the information from the 'old' BB and then transfers it to the 'new' one. However, that could mean your info was left on the transfer computer.....if done that way, might be worth asking to confirm data was deleted.

Jon Merricks Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Old phone was lost so not there to sync, all data must be on their server. Even my browsing history was loaded. Just a little freaky...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik Habicht Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Old phone was lost so not there to sync, all data must be on their server. Even my browsing history was loaded. Just a little freaky...... I'm a believer in work phones and personal phones..... Same thing with work computers and personal computers. The latter never enter a work facility, or connect to their servers. I never visit any sites that might require security from work -- no banking, no companies with whom I have accounts set up, etc..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Since it is your work BB, I'd guess that they want their data protected, and back up the whole phone remotely. Then they can restore it to a new phone at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Bell Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Jon, A BB in a corporate environment is typically setup on a company owned BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES), this syncs your phone with your corporate email system, including contacts. The BES can also handle the browsing requests from the phones, that way it goes thru the corporate proxy and firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
